APPLICATIONS
This product has been designed only for the purposes listed
below:

Cross cutting wood and plastic (do not cut metals,
ceramics or masonry products.)
 Cross cutting miters, joints, etc., for picture frames,
moldings, door casings, and fine joinery
 Bevel and compound cutting
 Cross cutting wide workpieces
NOTE: The blade provided is fine for most wood cutting
operations, but for fine joinery cuts or cutting plastic, use
one of the accessory blades available from the Ryobi dealer.
WARNING:
Before starting any cutting operation, clamp or bolt the
compound miter saw to a workbench. Never operate the
miter saw on the floor or in a crouched position. Failure
to heed this warning can result in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, always tighten the miter
lock handle and bevel lock handle securely before making
a cut. Failure to do so could result in movement of the
miter table or saw head while making a cut.
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, keep hands outside the
no hands zone, at least 3 in. from the blade. Never perform
any cutting operation freehand (without holding workpiece
against the fence). The blade could grab the workpiece
if it slips or twists.
NOTICE:
Do not start the compound miter saw without checking
for interference between the blade and the miter fence.
Damage could result to the blade if it strikes the miter
fence during operation of the saw.
CUTTING WITH YOUR COMPOUND MITER SAW
WARNING:
When using a work clamp or C-clamp to secure your
workpiece, clamp workpiece on one side of the blade
only. The workpiece must remain free on one side of the
blade to prevent the blade from binding in workpiece. The
workpiece binding the blade will cause motor stalling and
kickback. This situation could cause an accident resulting
in possible serious personal injury.
WARNING:
NEVER move the workpiece or make adjustment to any
cutting angle while the saw is running and the blade is
rotating. Any slip can result in contact with the blade
causing serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Do not try to cut narrow pieces using the sliding feature.
Failure to heed this warning could result in serious
personal injury.
